OOC ☆ Manifestation of sins

Oct 06, 2010 00:00

Between 10/5-10/11 and 10/29-10/31, residents of Edensphere are adorned with tattoos showing a manifestation of their past unsavoury deeds.

On each side of Stellaris' face, starting from the temple and down the cheek, is an image of a winding snake baring its fangs. The left one is coloured violet and there is an empty patch on its head shaped like the astronomical symbol of the Sun. The right one is coloured blue with a Venus-symbol patch.

On her back is a horse on wheeled platform and two soldiers in ancient Greek garb climbing out of a door on its belly. Behind the horse, strings of tiny letters form brick pattern that from afar looks like a fortress. The letters extend to form a frame around the horse and fortress. Those adept in Visual Basic programming might recognise what the letters make up coding for. The back tattoo shows through her clothing, but she can't see it unless someone tells her.

Explanations
The snakes symbolize treason and the corresponding motivations.
Left side stands for her betrayal of the Ptolemy side. Violet and the Sun symbolize pride.
Right side stands for her betrayal of Ribbons' side. Blue and Venus symbolize lust.
The scene at her back depicts Trojan horse, both in the sense that she was a seemingly-benign crewmember that allows enemy access, and her infecting the Ptolemy's system with virus. It is located somewhere she can't readily see because her memory was repressed when she acted as a sleeper agent.
